Long description
Starring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton (MICHAEL CLAYTON, BURN AFTER READING) and directed by Erick Zonca, JULIA centres on the eponymous character: a woman fired from her job, without money and suffering borderline alcohol dependency. At her wits end and desperate, she concocts a plan to kidnap the eight year-old grandson of a successful businessman in order to extort a greedy ransom. However, Julia is not prepared for the danger that's part and parcel with being a fugitive on the run, soon realising that she has bitten off far more than she can chew. With the police and a criminal organisation in hot pursuit, so begins Julia's desperate fight for survival.
